Web addresses

[arlibop]

How can I add a web address in red or blue to an Email so the receiver can just click on it to get to the right page? Don't know if it has a special name. Any answers need to be fairly simple please as I'm not that technologicaly minded (oh all right I'm thick!)

Usually when you type a web address in outlook or similar - it recognises it and automatically underlines it in blue.

Web addresses are posted in red on here as AB recognises it and automatically types it in red.

Open a new box with the site you want to give.

Place mouse over the address bar and left click so it becomes blue.

Then press the Ctrl key and the letter C. (this is how to copy) and then shrink the box.

Then in the box you want to send your link to: ie: AB answer box.

Press Ctrl key and the letter V.

The link should then show. On here, AB... it won't highlight until you actually post your answer.

If you are sending a link with an e-mail it will highlight.

Try it on here and see how you go.

Give us a site you would like to post... ie: A recipe or something.....

There is a preview box on AB so you can preview and see if your link has worked.

p.s once you've pressed Ctrl, hold it down and C you don't have to hold them down after that.
